With Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the bag and quickly approaching $2 billion at the box office, it’s now time to turn our attention to Star Wars: Episode VIII (currently untitled).
John Boyega already said Episode VIII will be darker than The Force Awakens, and recently some rumors hit the net regarding possible Luke Skywalker scenes.
We can also speculate that if Episode VIII takes a similar route to that of The Force Awakens, Episode VIII may be a potential “homage” to Empire Strikes Back, which may mean we’ll see Lando Calrissian and the Bounty Hunters, as they first appeared in episode V.
Check out even more speculation and predictions in the above video (possible spoilers?).
Star Wars: Episode VIII has a newly announced release date of December 15, 2017 written and directed by Rian Johnson and begins principal photography in London next month.
